| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? If this was about what CONCERTS to avoid, it would be Dave. I like a lot of the music, so decided to go. There are crowds of friends talking loudly and not even watching. Then, on cue, they all turn and recite the refrains yelling Ioudly. Afte... | |

| Looking to upgrade from Emotiva XPA-1 monoblocks Hi @tkn42 , I had an Emotiva XPA 2 way back when and I would never call it edgy. Dark is more what I heard. Regardless, I would think the amplification could easily be much better. For 6K I would look at a Coda stereo amp or Audionet Amp mono ... | |
| Gain level on a REL sub Thanks @highend64 . Well I am stumped. While I wholeheartedly agree one sub is not as good as two, you still should get good volume and punch out of one. For High level, you are tapping out of the amplifier outputs? How are you connecting this... | |
| So what series are you WATCHING now? Loved Slow Horses, Night Agent and The Recruit. Started Mob Town last night. | |
| Gain level on a REL sub Hello @highend64 , something doesn’t sound right to me. I am a REL fan with a pair IN two systems. But even with one, it will easily play too loud. First thing, are you sure you have the phase correct? I’m sure you know, but that is the first th... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Hey @debrajray , no need to explain your keeping the Nautilus 804's. I still have a pair of N802's and a pair of N803's in my vacation home. In my opinion, the Nautilus line were the smoothest B/W ever made. And, at 30 years, with the exception... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Hi @soix thanks and +1. I was thinking vodka, but yes! | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Here is great information on Switch X and Wifi X and how this wifi has less affect on sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V8ZaVv9aoM I think this explains things way better than my attempt. | |
| Standmount speaker suggestion Yes Dynaudio are detailed...but smooth and listenable. I also think they have impressive bass for their size..controlled not boomy. :) | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Hello @sns, Always enjoy hearing from you! Yes clock harmonization and redundancy is an issue. It could easily be an argument for combined streamer / DAC where it would obviously be optimized. Instead, great streamers tend to have upgraded clo... | |
| Standmount speaker suggestion Hi @ullogu1, I am familiar with the B/W speakers, having owned quite a few some years ago. I recently acquired a pair of Dynaudio Contour 20i stand mounts. I am blown away and smitten! In fact so much, I am already moving up to the Dynaudio Co... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Good Morning @debrajray , I certainly concur that any wifi on the audio LAN can create noise. But the Clean Wifi (wifi on the clean network) is designed to have minimal impact by its designer Chris at DeJitterit. Also, there are no other appl... | |
| Neutral-ish Speaker Cable Hi @jaybe and @soix ! I agree the lower lines of K-S are a bit dark and less resolving on the high end. I initially tried a full loom of Emotion power cables and did not like them as much as the Au24SX. But not true at all of the Elation and Re... |
